The Blue Chip Song of the Week: none.
The Judds have sold nearly all the $ 299 seats for their New Year's Eve
reunion concert. Members of their fan club picked up most of the ducats for
the Phoenix AZ concert before they hit the open market.
Officially, The Judds have said they would consider doing more if the
demand is there. Since Wynonna hasn't caught on with the rock crowd and her
country career is struggling, consider the demand "there".
Besides, mom-and-daughter have signed a 2-year deal with K-Mart to
replace Penny Marshall and Rosie O'Donnell as their spokespeople. The deal
includes in-store appearances.
All the rest is spinnery.
"Outlaw Justice" is scheduled to be the CBS movie of the week on Sunday
(January 24th). Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and
Travis
Tritt star in the film. Travis plays the sheriff who works with the
characters of Willie and Kris. The trio is out to even the score for the
death of Waylon's gunslinging character.
Sara Evans wants to sell her digs and move up to a bigger crib now that
she's climbing the charts. Her farm house and 5 acres in Springfield TN
(just
outside Nashville) are on the market for $ 117,000.
New artist Chad Brock is from the horse country of Ocala FL, just
outside
Gainesville. Being so close to the University of Florida, it's only natural
that he's a big Gator fan. In fact, he has the university's Gator logo
tattooed on his leg.
Trisha Yearwood is the newest member of The Grand Ole Opry.
Wade Hayes is planning to tie the knot. You can see his fiancee, Danni
Boatwright, in Wade's new video "Tore Up From The Floor Up".
Does this mean he had to move the motorcycle out of the bedroom?
Nan Sumrall, Gary Chapman's sidekick on the TNN's Prime Time Country, is
also engaged. Nan's beloved is Charlie Kelley, a member of the now extinct
group, The Buffalo Club.
Haven't seen enough of Shania Twain? Look for her on the cover of the
February edition of Cosmopolitan magazine.
Also in the magazine rack: The February issue of "Life" featuring Alan
Jackson and wife Denise.

More than 900 pieces of Minnie Pearl memorabilia were sold at auction in
Nashville on Saturday. If you had wanted one of her straw hats with the
price
tag attached, you would have had to match a $ 350 bid.
Fan Fair is set for June 14-19 at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in
Nashville. Tickets are $ 90 for all six days. For the first time in many
years, Fan Fair wasn't a sell-out last year.
Hal Ketchum will host a new radio show for Public Radio International.
Hal will interview his favorite singer/songwriters on "Troubadours". Sounds
like my kind of gig.

Boys. That brings the group back to its original lineup.
